How to create autocomplete combobox in PyQt4?

How to create autocomplete combobox in PyQt4?

Example what I want:

http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox

Solution

  • To get the same behaviour as in the example, you will need to change the completion mode of the completer for the combobox.

    By default, the completion mode is inline (i.e. just selected text, with no alternatives). To get the drop-down list of possible alternatives, do:

        combobox.completer().setCompletionMode(QtGui.QCompleter.PopupCompletion)
